June 1, 1950 Mr. G. Haiard Industrial Halations Division Owens-Illinois Glass Coapaay Toledo ly Ohio Dear Bllli Tbs Trudeau 3ahool currently In session prevented a nore pronpt answer to your letter of May 18. It finished today and I an now ready to attack the eecwlated eorreapondsnoo. In revlevinc your letter the first order of business is to urge you and Doctor Shook to visit Saranae Lake. My i* full up te r the eiddle of June. Select any tins after that date which is aoat convenient for both of you. The second point ehlah you roles relates to the X-Ray Dopartnent and the service by the Foundation for ths reading and interpretation of cheat riientgwngrone of your aaployees. In --iitlng upon this natter aa requested In your letter of April 3, there is certainly no objection an onr pert should yon prefer that the natter be fcmallsed on a contrast baste. In easy reepaate, eons fomal agreesat would ease onr ariniaistrative duties. I rather expect alec that it would satlafy your purehacliig departneat. The agreenent of last year waa baaed on a flat rate of $4.00 per chest case. In explanation, per chest ease refers to ths roentgenograns of each aaa at a given date. Thus, the case dght consist of only a slngis flla, or it night Include a stereo pair, a lateral, and an oblique. The fee of 14.00 would oever the entire lot. If on the other hand two dates were involved, we weald consider that aa two cansa. Ve see no ressen te change that fee, unless there is seas objec tion an the pert of the oanpesy. It la indeed a relatively low figure and we keep it there only because of onr continued interest in probleac relating to the inhalation of dust. The opportunity te study i notarial of this sort is cf traasadous help la our researeh psograa. Asbestos Litig Saranac Lake 1989 Depos.

These '111 be sacrificed next month. Then we will be ready to prepare the final report. For yoor lnforaatioa, at this tiae, I believe the findings permit the followingj Kaylo duet oa inhalation by experimental aniaale does not produce eilieoaia irrespective of the small amount of quarts present* It does produoe the asbestotle type of ro setlon in the lung* and, therefore, ve believe every precaution should be taken to nlniaise exposure of industrial cmployeas. Kaylo dust an inhalation by experimental animals In fested with tubercle had 111 (R ) producaa only a very mild atlaalatlon of the tuberculous Infection, much less than that eaused by the inhalation of pore quarts. This svidsne# loads us to believe that in industrial preotlee the nlnimal allow able eoneentratleu of Kaylo could be far la excess than that accepted for quarts before Kaylo weald have an adverse stimu n lating effect upon a tuberculous infection in exposed employees. This evlitearns weald support tbs vise that Inha 1st!on of Kaylo dust would met be besardous from the standpoint of tuberculosis, sspssisllr provided that tbs dust hasard is ecntrollsd as sited above.
